Advantages:
- Easy to install - easy to use.
- Space saving control panels and flexible mounting.
- Synchronisation of multiple thrusters
- Up to 3 thrusters to be controlled from same panel
Neptune-II Azimuth control system
NEPTUNE-II AZIMUTH advanced propulsion control and alarm system for controllable and fixed pitch propeller in azimuth propulsion systems. Due to the flexibility and high level of redundancy Neptune-II is ideal for both new azimuths and retrofits of older azimuth propulsion systems.
Advantages:
- Flexible control system for electric, diesel-mechanical or hybrid propulsion systems
- Complex gear boxes and Z-drives with multiple PTO/PTI’s

Joystick System
Triton JS
TRITON-JS joystick control system specially designed for high-speed and other twin-screw vessels with controllable pitch propellers, rudders and thrusters. The unique system allows for control of the entire propulsion arrangement from one single joystick, a feature commonly found only in larger and far more complex DP systems. Triton JS is the perfect choice both for new builds and retrofits. The separate and compact system offers a competitive alternative for easier manoeuvring, with custom design solutions available. The system features an interface to twin screw propulsion systems with rudders and thrusters, a low speed mode for easy control of propulsion and thrusters, a high-speed mode for control of propulsion and rudders, a three-axis joystick, as well as several options for fixed and portable panels.
Advantages:
- The joystick simplifies manoeuvring, increasing operation efficiency
- Easier manoeuvring improves safety
- The system is cost-competitive
- Portable control panels for cost effective solutions for control and monitoring in several control stations
- Compact design frees up valuable vessel space
